Chapter 38

"Come in and talk."

After confirming his identity, Kaguya Yuta stepped aside.

In the house hidden in the dark alley of the Mist, Mizunuki Ryosuke followed Kaguya Yuta deeper and deeper until they reached the deepest part of the house.

But just as he stepped in and saw the scene inside, a trace of surprise flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s eyes.

He saw that in this small house, there were more than a dozen men and women all hidden in gray robes.

The appearance of these men and women looked extremely young, and it was not difficult to see from the obvious characteristics on their bodies that these people all came from the Kaguya clan.

"This lord, I don't know how to address you."

After Kaguya Yuta led Ryosuke to sit in the main seat, he asked Mizunuki Ryosuke with a respectful tone.

"My name is Mizunuki Ryosuke."

"Yuta Jonin, what exactly is the matter that made you go as far as to follow and intercept the Mizukage?"

"Now you might as well speak directly; the Mizukage has authorized me to handle this matter entirely."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said slowly, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

Seeing that Ryosuke actually knew the details of him following the Mizukage, Kaguya Yuta completely let his guard down.

After all, in his view, only he and the Third Mizukage were present at the time, and the reason Mizunuki Ryosuke knew all this was obviously because the Mizukage told him.

This showed that the other party was indeed a confidant of the Third Mizukage.

Little did he know, the "Third Mizukage" he saw was Mizunuki Ryosuke himself.

Kaguya Yuta was not a hesitant person by nature; seeing that Mizunuki Ryosuke wanted to get straight to the point, he no longer hid anything.

After taking a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in Kaguya Yuta’s eyes, and then he spoke.

"My lord, I want to reveal a major event to you!"

"Although this sounds very absurd, I, as well as the Kaguya clansmen present, are willing to bet our lives on it!"

Seeing Kaguya Yuta say this, Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to vaguely understand the other party’s purpose.

Before coming, Mizunuki Ryosuke had vaguely felt the other party’s purpose, perhaps related to the big event that would happen tomorrow, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Please speak!"

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s mind gradually became serious.

At this juncture, everything related to tomorrow’s event could not be a small matter.

"I want to expose—"

"Tomorrow, while the Three-Tails Jinchuriki is being replaced, Mist Anbu Chief Hozuki Mangetsu is colluding with Kaguya Clan Leader Kaguya Ichiro."

"They intend to launch a coup and assassinate the Mizukage!"

Kaguya Yuta said word by word; because his emotions were too intense, his expression even looked a bit ferocious at the moment.

Once these words were spoken, Mizunuki Ryosuke was stunned on the spot for a moment.

He never expected that the other party would be so direct, throwing out the conspiracy of Hozuki Mangetsu and Kaguya Ichiro directly.

In other words, Kaguya Yuta was here to surrender!

In this instant, many thoughts flashed through Mizunuki Ryosuke’s mind.

In the first instance, Mizunuki Ryosuke still used the method of "maximum malice" to speculate.

He first tried to imagine if everything in front of him was a "counter-espionage" tactic jointly performed by Hozuki Mangetsu and the Kaguya clan.

But no matter how he thought about it, Kaguya Yuta’s behavior was of no benefit to Hozuki Mangetsu’s camp; this counter-espionage tactic was not only worthless—

It even exposed the most important information of Hozuki Mangetsu’s camp.

You know, if Mizunuki Ryosuke hadn't brought back the intelligence in advance, then the intelligence revealed by Kaguya Yuta at this moment could be said to be invaluable.

But if the other party was really here to surrender, it still didn't make sense.

Because by doing this, what benefits could Kaguya Yuta get?

According to Mizunuki Ryosuke’s knowledge, Kaguya Yuta was the son of the current Kaguya clan leader, and could be said to be under one person and above ten thousand in the clan.

What was he plotting by "destroying his relatives for righteousness"?

With a head full of questions, Mizunuki Ryosuke asked his question directly.

"Kaguya Yuta, let’s not talk about whether what you said is true or false."

"Why are you doing this?"

"As the young leader of the Kaguya clan, why are you betraying your own clansmen and father?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke’s words did not leave any room for mercy, uncovering Kaguya Yuta’s biggest scar.

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke’s cold eyes filled with questioning, Kaguya Yuta’s teeth were clenched, and his fists, the size of sand pots, were tightly clenched together, even making a "clack" sound of bone collision because of too much force.

Mizunuki Ryosuke’s merciless questioning seemed to make Kaguya Yuta remember what happened in the Kaguya clan grounds not long ago.

Kaguya Yuta knelt in front of Kaguya Ichiro, listening to his father’s teachings.

"Silly child, you are the greatest hope of the Kaguya clan!"

Kaguya Ichiro looked at Kaguya Yuta with a burning gaze, and a pair of powerful hands also patted Kaguya Yuta’s shoulders.

"Father, why do you say that?"

Regarding Kaguya Ichiro’s statement, Kaguya Yuta was clearly full of confusion in his heart at this moment.

"When I was young, I was like all the other clansmen."

"I had endless arrogance and madness in my heart, swearing to lead the clansmen to decide the winner with the Mizunuki and prove that the Kaguya were the best."

"But gradually, I woke up."

"I and the Kaguya have walked too far on the wrong path—"

"So far that we can't even turn back."

Kaguya Ichiro’s eyes carried a hint of sigh and aftertaste, looking at Kaguya Yuta again, his eyes were already filled with unspeakable complexity.

"But you are different."

"You are still young and have infinite hope."

"And you have a calm and clear mind, clearly recognizing the shortcomings of the Kaguya."

"I believe you will definitely be able to lead the Kaguya clan to a new path."

Kaguya Yuta didn't dare to look into Kaguya Ichiro’s eyes at this moment, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help but burst into tears on the spot.

"In the neighboring Land of Fire, there is a ninja village with the title of 'Number One', Konoha."

"I admire the philosophy of this powerful ninja village very much."

"Where the leaves dance, the fire burns."

"The old trees in the forest will wither one day, but after they wither, their bodies will turn into nutrients for the saplings."

"On the bodies of the old trees, new towering trees will be born."

(Regarding the problem in Chapter 39, it was not missed, but this chapter was sent to the palace, it is currently under review, and it is estimated that it will be released soon.)
